Hakata City’s Latin Night brings acts from summer’s biggest festivals to the rooftop of JR Hakata Station for two hot weekends – offering you a taste of the soundtrack to summer 2013! Kicking off this Saturday, Aug. 3, Sunset Live guest artist “KINGDOM☆AFROCKS” will play on the rooftop garden from 18:00~22:00. Then on Sunday Aug. 4, you can watch the final stage of the “Go!Go! Sunset” contest (15:00~18:00), with local bands battling it out to win a spot on stage at this year’s Sunset Live festival. Isla de Salsa will take the reigns for the second weekend edition on Aug. 10 (18:00~) and Aug. 11 (15:00~) with Latin and salsa acts from Tiempo Iberoamericano heating up the stage! There’s also a row of street stalls lining the approach to the rooftop shrine selling international beer (¥400/bottle) from Spain, Mexico, Peru and more.
